<p>Hi! I’m a long-time reader and a brand new member. My dad went to Penn, so as a legacy I’m doing an interview at Penn. Penn’s my frist choice and I’m pretty nervous about the interview. I was wondering if anyone had done an interview at Penn before and could share their experience.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>It's easy... they're nice. Hopefully you won't have to listen to the parent of the guy in front of you talking about all the $$ he's donated, like I did.</p>
<p>I'd wear khakis, but not a suit or anything. Come prepared with non-obvious questions- HINT- what's the Avg SAT is a bad one... asking about the city or specific groups on campus you're interested in, and how to contact them, is good.</p>
<p>be ready to talk about You & Penn as a team. What do you do that is uniquely you, which will be an asset to the school.</p>
<p>U might want to show interest in the experiences of the interviewer when they went to Penn. I asked my interviewer things like: So how did u cope with the weather ur first year? (I'm from miami so that question might not apply to u), What activities did u participate in?, How were ur classes? yada yada yada
I don't know how much that might set u apart, but I do know that they give u an interview as an opportunity to learn more about u, as well as for u to learn more about the school (so it might be impressive that u actually use this opportunity instead of just asking meaningless questions...) :)</p>
